3. Cookies
Blogger and Google services may use cookies and similar technologies. According to Blogger, Google may use cookies to deliver its services and analyse traffic, and information such as a visitor's IP address and user agent may be shared with Google together with performance and security metrics.
Cookies may be used for:
- Providing website functionality

Where legally required, consent should be obtained before non-essential cookies or comparable technologies are activated. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings.
4. Google Analytics
My Bodensee may use Google Analytics if analytics functionality is enabled, to help understand how visitors interact with the site — pages visited, approximate traffic sources, devices used and interaction patterns.
Where Google Analytics or comparable services require consent under applicable law, they will only be activated after that consent has been obtained. If Google Analytics is not currently enabled, this section applies only once the service is activated.

Where advertising technologies require prior consent, they will only be activated after that consent has been obtained. If advertising is not currently enabled, this section applies only once such services are introduced.

If you contact My Bodensee by email, telephone, WhatsApp or another channel, we may process information including your name, email address, telephone number, organization, the contents of your message, and any documents or information you voluntarily provide.
This is processed in order to respond to your inquiry and manage subsequent communication, and may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to handle the inquiry, maintain appropriate business records, or comply with applicable legal obligations.
7. Comments
Where commenting is enabled through Blogger, information supplied when posting a comment may be processed by Blogger and Google, which may include your displayed name, Google account information, website address, comment content and technical connection information. Blogger may also use cookies connected with its commenting functionality.
Please avoid posting sensitive personal information in public comments.
8. Embedded Content
Articles may contain or later include embedded content from third-party services such as YouTube, Google Maps, Instagram, Facebook, X, Pinterest, booking or travel platforms, and other media or mapping services.
When third-party content loads, the relevant provider may receive technical information including your IP address and browser or device information, and may use cookies or similar technologies. Where legally required, we will block such third-party services until we obtain appropriate consent.
9. External Links
My Bodensee contains links to third-party websites. Once you leave My Bodensee, that site's own privacy policies and data-processing practices apply. My Bodensee is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites.
10. Affiliate Links and Commercial Partnerships
My Bodensee may use affiliate links or enter commercial partnerships. If you follow an affiliate link, the relevant third-party platform may process technical information necessary to recognize that the referral originated from My Bodensee. We will disclose affiliate relationships and sponsored partnerships where appropriate.
11. Legal Bases for Processing
Where the GDPR applies, personal data may be processed on one or more of the following bases: your consent; performance of a contract or steps requested before entering one; compliance with a legal obligation; or legitimate interests, provided these are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms. The applicable basis depends on the specific processing activity.
12. International Data Transfers
Some service providers used by My Bodensee, including Google and other international technology providers, may process information outside Germany or the European Economic Area. Where required, such transfers must be supported by an appropriate legal mechanism under applicable data-protection law.
13. Data Retention
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected for, unless a longer period is required by law. Retention may vary depending on whether the information relates to a general inquiry, a business relationship, contractual documentation, accounting or tax records, legal claims, or website security.
14. Your Data-Protection Rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to: access your personal data; correct inaccurate information; request deletion; restrict processing; object to certain processing; request data portability; and withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
To exercise your rights, contact ask@mybodensee.ch. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection supervisory authority.
15. Security
We use reasonable organizational and technical measures to help protect personal information. However, no internet transmission or online service can provide absolute security.
16. Children
My Bodensee is a general travel and regional-information publication and is not intended specifically to collect personal information from children. Children should not submit personal information through the site without appropriate parental or guardian involvement.
